thanks for the info there, kazz.

thanks for that but i wouldnt accept a message from someone that jhas the name of IMlogic. LOL

BLUBLOOD|

yeah this thing sux.My Ex-girlfriend has it on her computer.it takes 30 seconds to send a message to someone,it sends messages to check out a my space website wich she has so people check it.All it will im people is hey check out what ive updated.I know atleast 4 of her friends have the worm also

Yeah...basically I never click on any links people send me that aren't relevant to what we're talking about, or don't have a seperate explanation afterwards...and it's always trouble when people you havn't talked to in years im you with "Hey Babe! Check out my hott pics!". Also, don't go to any url sent that ends in (obviously .exe) but also other unusual extensions. Basically, unless it's a site you recognize, I wouldn't open it until you've talked to whoever sent it, in a way that makes you sure it's not an aimbot. Oh, sometimes it helps to check their profile and see if they've got "symptoms" in there, such as that one "NEW YEARS PARTAY 2003" link that everyone had for a while.

As I said to kazz earlier, the idea behind this is old. (Having people click links to dupe the virus.)

I've clicked on many links from friends that have various viruses. Some: "lol does this look like you? http://www.lolmalicouslink.com/mewithboobs.jpg" "lol have you seen this yet? http://www.lolcrycry.com/peasgreatertin.jpg"

I've wised up, and even made fun of people with them. One girl I know IM'd me with a virus, and I called her "virus girl virus girl!" She told me to shut the phuck up. :(

Anyways.. the fix:

Run this and it should remove all AIM viruses you currently have.

Thanks for that program there, Tucker. It'll come in handy for lots of us. I just only hope that IT is not a virus! LOL. that'd be pretty messed up....

Yeah, that one's clean, I had to help some of my friends with it.

you are retarded, IMlogic isnt the screenname, its the company that investigates these kinds of situations.

believe me I know Tucker! it's F*CKING simple but most people are still stupid enough to click on shit or accept things they shouldn't. that's how most viruses spread...stupid users. what makes this threat more deceptive is that it actually has a little AI embeded in it to communicate with the potential target. Still, don't click on something or allow a transfer of something you don't know about...that's the bottom line. :D

If only Stone Cold would say so...

lol this has happened to about 5 of my friends

lol. i remember when i was like a 6th grader, me and some of my friends would pretend wrestle. we'd always get into trouble. but im going off subject.

man i would never fall for that shit. only stupid buttnuggets would.
